hello my name is Emma and in today's
video I'm going to talk about something
I love and that is travel so if you like
traveling - if you're planning on going
on a vacation or if you know somebody
who's traveling this video will be very
very helpful to you in this video I'm
going to teach you some very important
verbs they're all phrasal verbs and I'll
explain what a phrasal verb is in a
moment so these are all verbs that we
use when we're talking about travel okay
so to get started I wanted to tell you a
little bit about phrasal verbs what is a
phrasal verb one of the difficulties
students have with English are verbs
where you have a verb and a preposition
so when you see a verb and a preposition
together
that's a phrasal verb now you might be
thinking what's the preposition good
question
I'm going to give you an example we have
here four words each of these is a
phrasal verb they all have the verb get
get in get up get on get over and
there's many more get away there's tons
of them each of these actually can have
multiple meanings too so one of the most
difficult parts about English is
learning phrasal verbs because this the
blue part is the preposition it can
change the meaning of the verb okay so
prepositions are words like on/off up
down toward over away these types of
words are prepositions so you'll notice
with phrasal verbs they're very very
common in conversation there you can
write them down too but in general when
people talk they often use phrasal verbs
ok so they're very very important
especially when you're talking about
going on a trip
with your friends or family so let's
look at some of the common phrasal verbs
we use when we're talking about trips
the first verb I want to teach you
drop off okay so drop is the verb off is
the preposition together drop off is a
phrasal verb what does this mean drop
off when you drop someone off it means
you're taking them to a place and then
you leave them there so for example
maybe your friend needs to go to the
airport so you drive them to the airport
and you drop them off at the airport
this means you take them there and you
leave them in that place okay so they
don't come home with you they stay there
so for example I have a friend named
Frank and when Frank goes travelling we
drop Frank off at the airport so we
drive Frank to the airport he has all
his luggage his suitcases and then we
say to Frank goodbye Frank
you know have a nice trip we drop Frank
off at the airport you can also use
drop-off in a lot of other situations
for example when you were a child maybe
your parents your mom or your dad or
maybe your grandparents dropped you off
at school this means that they took you
to school and then once you got to
school they would say goodbye to you and
they would leave so drop-off means you
take someone to a place and then you
leave them there
you'll also notice so I have here the
verb and the preposition Frank is a meme
of a person and it's in the middle of
dropping off okay so these two are not
together we drop somebody off at the
airport
okay so sometimes with phrasal verbs for
some phrasal verbs you actually separate
them and you can put the name of
somebody between them for other ones you
can't do that for this one drop off you
put the name between the two between the
verb and the preposition so now let's
look at another example of a common
phrasal verb
see off okay so again we have us in both
of these see off is when it's similar to
drop off but it's a little bit different
sometimes your family or your friends
are going away for a long time maybe
they're going on a vacation or a trip so
you want to see them off it means you
want to say goodbye to them at the
airport at the train station maybe at
their house so it's that goodbye you say
before somebody goes off on a vacation
okay so for example we see Frank off
Frank is going to Australia so we go to
the airport because we want to say
goodbye to Frank so when we see Frank
off is another way to say we say goodbye
to Frank when he goes on his trip all
right so now let's look at oh and again
similar to drop off notice where Frank
is we see Frank off Frank is between the
verb and the preposition okay so we see
somebody off we see our mother off we
see our father off we see our friend off
so this is the way you use this phrasal
verb now let's look at some other
phrasal verbs that have to do with
travel okay so our next phrasal verb is
very important when we're talking about
the airport okay so if you've ever been
on an airplane you should know this word
take off so the meaning of take off is
this is when the airplane leaves the
airport and flies away okay so if this
is the airplane it takes off okay it's
the opposite of lands so takes off means
the airplane goes up into the sky so an
example of this is very simple the plane
takes off okay the plane takes off at
seven o'clock again takes and off or
together so there's nothing separating
them
what's another important phrasal verb we
also have debt in so this also has to do
with the airplane this is when the plane
arrives at the airport on an airport
plane arrives sorry the plane arrives at
an airport okay so for example Frank's
plane gets in at 9:00 p.m. we can also
use this for a person okay when you say
Frank gets in at 9:00 p.m. it pretty
much means arrives so Frank gets in at
9:00 p.m.
Frank's airplane gets in at 9:00 p.m. we
could also use this for train Frank's
train gets in at 9:00 p.m. so it means
arrives okay and if we use it a lot when
we're talking about transportation like
planes and trains okay the next one
check in check in and check out these
are very important for when you stay at
a hotel or a hostel okay so when you
check in this means you register at the
hotel so for example I want to stay at a
hotel I want to sleep up the hotel I go
to the hotel and there's somebody at the
front desk and what do I say to them I
say I would like to check in Frank
checks in Frank checks into the hotel so
this means Frank goes to the hotel and
he tells them I'm here I want to bed I
check in now the opposite of this is
check out this is when you leave the
hotel and you pay them the money for
your stay there so maybe you go to the
hotel for five days when you leave the
hotel
and you pay the money for those five
days that's when you check out so we can
say Frank checks out now let's look at a
couple more phrasal verbs okay so our
next phrasal verb is set
oh okay set out so what does it mean
when you set out
it means you start so keyword here is
start a journey or you sometimes start a
road trip so it's the beginning of
usually a journey or a trip so for
example imagine Frank he's at the hotel
and he wants to go on an adventure he
wants to explore
maybe he's I said he was in Australia
maybe he's in Sydney Australia and he
wants to explore Sydney so we can say
Frank set out early to explore this
means that Frank starts his journey
early okay if you've ever gone on a road
trip where you drove your car somewhere
very far you know maybe you've drove
your car for three days to go somewhere
you can say every day we set out early
or we set out late so this means we
began our trip early or we began our
trip late so set out means to start a
journey okay our last one very important
pick up okay there's many different
meanings of the word pick up you can
pick up the phone you can pick something
up with your hand in this case it's a
little bit different when we're talking
about travel when we're talking about
about pickup here we're talking about
where you get someone from a place and
then you take them to another place so
for example when Frank comes home I will
pick Frank up from the airport
and take Frank home ok so it's where you
usually it's you're in a car not always
but usually you pick somebody up with
your car and you take them somewhere
else
so for example Michelle picks Frank up
in her car so maybe at the airport she
drives to the airport
Frank's there from his long trip in
Australia
and she picks him up not literally she
doesn't lift him up no with her cart she
takes him from the airport
to his house okay so I'd like you to
